St Jude Children’s Hospital

Founded in 1962 by Danny Thomas, St. Jude Children’s Hospital is the leading pediatric treatment and research hospital for catastrophic childhood diseases. Located in Memphis, Tennessee, with affiliate hospitals around the world, St. Jude does not charge any family for the cost of their child’s care, and freely provides their treatment protocols to hospitals around the world. Due to their efforts, the cure rate on Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia has improved from 4% in 1962 to 94% presently.
